The glass on a mobile phone is one of the most fragile elements. Costs mobile device fall on asphalt or crushed stone, the screen will break in most cases. And even the use of durable protective glass such as Gorilla Glass by manufacturers does not help - the displays still break. In this case, you have to buy a new touch panel, and also spend money on replacing the glass on your smartphone. However, you can try to carry out this operation yourself.

Before you begin to replace the glass on your smartphone, you need to know what you will have to deal with. The main elements here will be:

  1. Matrix, which is a liquid crystal panel. It is on this that the image you see is formed. In some phones, the matrix is ​​located under protective glass, while in other models these two elements are one. The matrix is ​​connected to the main board of the smartphone through special cables.
  2. Touchscreen. This is a glass panel that breaks when the smartphone is dropped. This is what will have to be changed. If the touchscreen and matrix are one solid element, then if the touchscreen breaks down, the matrix will also have to be replaced. It's expensive.
  3. Frame and buttons.
  4. Backlight.
  5. Loops.

Procedure for replacing glass on a smartphone

When dropped, the touchscreen is always the first to suffer, and then the matrix may also break. In any case, the replacement order will look like this:

  1. Disassembling a smartphone.
  2. Removing the main module from the housing.
  3. Warming up the screen.
  4. Separation of the touchscreen from the main module. Sometimes it is removed along with the matrix.
  5. Cleaning from glue residues and dust.
  6. Applying glue for installing a new touch glass. Irradiation with a lamp for quick drying.
  7. Housing assembly.

Instructions

If in your phone the matrix and the touchscreen are different elements, separate from each other, then you can handle the simple procedure yourself. This will help save money, because the price of replacing the glass on a smartphone can cost 1000 rubles, and it only takes 10 minutes.

For work we will need:

Some of these accessories come with your new screen.

You need to start with the bolts. Unscrew the bolts using a small shaped screwdriver. Most often, a torx screwdriver is required. Place all the bolts in one place so as not to lose them. A regular matchbox is ideal. Many models have a hidden bolt on the upper left side of the smartphone. It also needs to be unscrewed.

Now we take a pick and with its help we try to remove the smartphone’s case around the perimeter. This tool is ideal for this purpose. Many people try to remove the cover with a screwdriver, but it leaves small dents on the sides, which are immediately visible and even felt when you pick up the phone. Therefore, a pick is an ideal tool for removing a smartphone case.

Pay attention to the side latches. They need to be pressed a little to remove the housing. These latches are fragile and break easily, so be careful when doing so. If you break any of them, the case will not fit as tightly as before.

Now you need to remove the buttons that are on the sides. Take tweezers and carefully remove them without touching any cables. If there is a top on/off button for the smartphone, then it also needs to be removed.

After dismantling the buttons, we move the main board, but we do it very carefully, because under it there is a cable to the touchscreen. You need to disconnect it and connect the cable of the new touch glass. This is necessary to check functionality. After connecting the cable, turn on the smartphone and swipe your finger over the new touchscreen. If it works, then you can begin to completely remove the previous glass.

We remove the old glass and glue the new one

To remove the glass with a hairdryer, you need to warm up the areas where it is attached to the case (usually the touchscreen is attached to the front of the case). Warming up is done at a temperature of 70 degrees for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the mounting adhesive will melt and the touchscreen will easily come off. You can then attach the new sensor to the main part of the phone. At this stage there are 2 options:

  1. Remove any remaining old glue. Glue double-sided tape instead and attach the new sensor to it. Note that this is the correct method, but it is more labor-intensive, because it is necessary to remove the old glue, and this is quite difficult.
  2. Replace the protective glass on your smartphone using old glue. This can also be done, and the adhesion of the new sensor to the glue will be strong. But first you need to warm up the old glue with a hairdryer after you have torn off the old touchscreen.

Did you glue new glass? Now you need to insert the cable from the sensor into the connector where the cable from the old glass was connected. Then you need to reassemble the phone in the reverse order.

How much does it cost to replace glass on a smartphone?

If you go to workshops, you will have to pay for the screen and the work of the master, which, depending on the workshop and region, can be estimated at 500-1000 rubles. By replacing the glass yourself, you can save money. In this case, it is better to order the sensor through a well-known Chinese website, which will save even more.

If you change the display in the cabin on a new smartphone, the replacement will be very expensive and often amounts to 50% of the cost of the phone itself, and sometimes even more. Therefore, if you have the skills to replace displays and sensors, then sometimes it pays to do it all yourself, even if it takes much more time than in a workshop.

In cases where the sensor and matrix of a smartphone are one unit, replacement will also be expensive, because the matrix itself is an expensive element, and the price of the sensor is cheap. Of course, the image on such displays looks high-quality, but if the glass falls and gets damaged, repairs cost a hefty sum.

Conclusion

Replacing the glass on a smartphone with your own hands is a simple task that requires experience, nothing more. If you want to learn how to do this, then practice first on an old smartphone that you don’t mind ruining. After one or two procedures, you will learn and can easily make the replacement yourself. True, in different models There may be some subtleties, but you will figure it out.

How to stick protective glass on your phone

The Samsung i9190 Galaxy s4 mini was chosen as the “experimental” phone. The glass of the device was cracked, which has not yet been replaced. To protect the screen from dust and moisture getting inside, as well as from further cracking, it was decided to temporarily stick it on the phone safety glass.

Glass has a number of advantages over film:

  • the ability to protect the glass of the device from cracking when dropped with the display facing down;
  • scratch resistance;
  • ease of gluing;
  • excellent fixation with the screen;
  • aesthetic appearance.

Preparation of the workplace.

Glass to save money cash was ordered on one of the Chinese sites. It came with two napkins in individual packages:

1. wet, with cleaning and degreasing impregnation;

2. dry non-woven.

If such wipes are not included in the kit, they can be replaced with a regular alcohol wipe (or a cotton pad soaked in vodka or alcohol) and a microfiber cloth. You may also need clear tape to remove tiny fibers from the screen.

The work area should be firm (such as a kitchen table) and well lit. Otherwise, dust and stains may go unnoticed when gluing glass.

Preparing the phone glass

1. Wash your hands to avoid accidentally leaving greasy fingerprints on the glass and phone.

Replacing the protective glass on your phone

There are several ways to replace glass in a phone: simple replacement using double-sided tape or glue, replacement using LOCA (liquid optical clear adhesive), using OCA (optical clear adhesive). Now, in order. The first method is suitable for phones that have an air gap between the phone screen and the sensor. The second method is suitable for phones that do not have an air gap (almost all modern models) and do not have a screen backlight that can be separated (an example is the Xperia Z, Z1-Z3. iPhone), below is an example of a Sony backlight.

Let's go back to the first method. In models that use an air gap (in budget, older models), the touchscreen is replaced by heating the glue along the edges of the screen with a hairdryer, preferably with a controlled heating temperature, and then disconnecting the sensor. The new sensor must be glued to 3M double-sided tape or B-7000 glue, having first carefully removed the remnants of the previous glue and thoroughly degreased the gluing area. You need to make sure that glue/tape/dust particles/your fingerprints do not get on the screen, as they will be difficult to remove, especially if the gluing process is already underway and the protective film has been removed from the sensor. Try to choose the thickness of the glue/adhesive tape the same as it was before. Because when the gap between the display and the sensor of such devices is too small, they can stick together and be held in this state due to the force of surface tension. This spot is very noticeable when the display is turned off and partially disappears when the backlight comes on. It looks like a drop of water squeezed between the glass, which is why such stains are sometimes confused with moisture getting into the device. Repair of such a defect is carried out by re-gluing the sensor.

Next I will describe the second method using LOCA. This method is more time-consuming and nerve-wracking than the previous one. As I said above, it can be used in cases where there is no air gap and no backlight (note - if you have a spare screen backlight module, you can use this method). Why can’t it be backlit, you ask, but here’s why

During the replacement process, glue may get between the backlight layers and as a result, the same or similar spots or illuminated areas will appear. In this case, only replacing the backlight module will help. This is not difficult, but there is a risk of breaking the screen module. If you have a mold for the screen and you can use a lining and a quick-drying sealant to prevent this from happening, then you will win, since you will not need to replace the entire screen with the touchscreen (I only succeeded once; it was very difficult to remove after This is the remains of the sealant).

If there is no such backlight (Amoled screen), then it is possible to use LOCA without fear xD. The process of replacing glass in such cases is as follows: you need to peel off the screen together with the glass from the phone frame (only glass is possible, but in this case there is a possibility that the glue will not dry completely under ultraviolet light and will subsequently leak out in small quantities between the glass and the frame, may also fall on motherboard and other components (it is not conductive)) and then peel off the broken glass using a molybdenum thread and a heating platform or a hair dryer. If this thread is not available, then it is possible to use the thinnest guitar picks or plastic cards. The heating temperature of the screen should not exceed 60-70 degrees, because this is fraught with the appearance of yellow spots (only replacing the screen will help) or darkening in the area of ​​overheating. A laser thermometer and a hair dryer with temperature control help a lot. Be careful when peeling off broken glass - try not to make deep scratches on the screen (they will be clearly visible later even using LOCA). Small scratches are well hidden with glue. If it happens that a deep scratch appears, then in this case only replacing the polarizing layer will help. To remove excess glue, you can use a special solvent or original purified Zippo gasoline. Counterfeit gasoline or cheap noname ones may not dissolve the glue or leave greasy marks. When disconnecting the frame from the frame, the copper layer may be damaged. During the process, you will notice this if graphite particles appear on plastic cards. Don't be afraid, there's nothing wrong with this. This copper screen can be replaced, or even left without it (but not advisable). It looks something like this.

Good afternoon, @zveriu, please help me with an answer. Is it possible to glue the sensor tightly with glue like on OCA, but on a phone that originally had an air gap? Will this work?

Eat lenovo tablet tab 2 a7-20 with a broken touchpad.

There the touchpad is glued with double-sided tape.

Can it be glued with loca glue?

If I understand correctly, this will give a more pleasing appearance to the device and screen.

Good afternoon. If it was not initially glued with loca glue, then you should not do this

I don’t have this information, since I only used the one with UV. Sorry.

I illuminate the glue with a nail lamp bought at a bakery around the corner for 300 rubles. long (about 10 minutes) but illuminates.

Fit regular energy saving lamp UV or LED UV spotlight. Much faster

Can you please tell me if there is UV-free glue? There is no lamp to dry it.

And another related question about the gluing technology on the Nexus 4, what type?

I dropped the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 phone on the edge of the table, the glass remained alive, but the matrix was cracked and the touchscreen was producing false presses.

I sent it in for service, the module was completely replaced, but now between the metal frame of the case and the glass there are translucent traces of excess glue visible.

I tried rubbing in these places with a toothpick, the crumbs of this mass fly off, but the translucent composition becomes whitish (the color is like plastic plexiglass in cross-section).

Is it possible to somehow remove these residues completely?

You risk accidentally damaging the screen when picking. The service just didn't do it very carefully. You can try to remove it, but I won’t advise this since I haven’t encountered it before and I haven’t been doing phone service for a long time. There are service technicians on Pikabu who post the full process of repairing phones. Better ask them. Sorry

The diode strip is located on one side of the screen. If your hands are straight and don’t shake like mine, then you can carefully peel off the backlight layer and re-glue the touchscreen with liquid glue. then just remove the rest of it and glue the backlight back on. But it is possible to get a crack on the screen (during the process of peeling off the backlight). Or squeeze the screen a little while removing the touchscreen and removing the glue. In this case, you will get a black spot that cannot be removed. Well, you can not worry and order a spare backlight module and simply replace it at the end of the process

Is it possible to do without a lamp? Maybe you can dry the glue in a different way?

LOCA only cultural violet

Tell me, on OnePlus one, can the sensor be glued or an air gap?

What does the probability depend on?

If you can carefully peel off the backlight layer, then protect the mirror layer with film and then use LOCA and at the very end wipe the whole thing off of excess glue and glue it back, then everything will be ok. If you do not peel off the backlight, the glue may seep into it and there will be stains (only replacing the latter will help). Well. if you have a laminator and OCA, then you don’t have to worry about it :)

I read it after I turned on the backlight

Hello! Please tell me, the screen on the Lenovo s850 is cracked, in the area of ​​the cracks yellowish spots began to appear, barely noticeable. The sensor itself began to glitch, it gives out something completely different from what you pressed)) when you click on the text, it can turn on the settings itself, or go to to another page on the Internet, etc. Do you need to change not only the glass, but also the sensor? Is it possible to make the replacement yourself on this model?

Good day! Question about replacing the sensor. I changed the sensor on Doogee x5 myself. I attached it to the frame with double-sided tape (3mm). As a result, about 1mm of tape stuck out around the perimeter of the frame (toward the center). When I disassembled the phone and removed the screen, some kind of rubber band or tape came off the screen; it was around the perimeter of the screen and torn in one place (I just found out that it was a seal) and I threw it away. During assembly, the screen was placed without a seal on adhesive tape (1mm), which looked out from under the frame around the perimeter. After assembly, I briefly checked the sensor, and then glued a protective glass onto the sensor. After that, I checked the sensor more carefully and discovered that when I hold it with my finger, the page shakes, jumps up and down, and when typing fonts on the keyboard it gives an error of one letter down. What could be the problem? if in a sealant, where can I get it or what can be used as it? I used all the programs from the playmarket for calibration, but it did not give any results. Is there another way to calibrate? Thank you in advance for your attention.

It's a matter of the sensor. There is an elastic band around the edges so that when pressed in the center of the screen, the screen and sensor do not stick together (due to surface tension, they will remain in this state until the touchscreen is peeled off again)

The main function of protective glass is to provide the smartphone screen with maximum protection from various kinds of negative influences and unwanted contacts. As a result of a fall or impact, the glass cracks, becomes deformed and becomes completely unusable. And here you can’t do without replacing it. But how to peel off the protective glass, what is required for this and in what order should the work be carried out? There are a lot of questions and each of them requires a competent answer. Let's talk about removing and replacing glass in a little more detail and detail.

Removing glass - what you need to remember

Quite often, to protect the display, it is not glass that is used, but a protective film, which has a smaller thickness and is characterized by very weak strength indicators. But choosing in its favor is extremely unjustified and impractical in situations that require maximum screen protection.
Here you can’t do without something durable and reliable. But when replacing it, you should be extremely careful and careful. The smartphone screen has a perfectly flat base, which ensures the glass has tight contact with the surface. Moreover, the retention is not due to glue, but under the influence of electrostatic forces. Therefore, removing glass may not be as simple as some initially think.
You should not use all kinds of cutters and knives for this. And one silicone suction cup is also not enough. If it is weakly bonded, it is impossible to obtain a vacuum, and excessively tight contact can lead to other problems. In this case, you can tear off not only the damaged glass, but also the touch module located under the screen. To remove the glass, you should exercise maximum care and caution.

Removing glass - what you need for work

For work, you should prepare the following set of devices in advance:

  • A pick or a narrow plastic card - it is better to take 2 pieces for greater convenience;
  • Suction cup with silicone base is an optional choice;
  • A napkin with a lint-free surface;
  • Glass cleaner - it is advisable to choose a composition containing alcohol;
  • Medical gloves are an optional choice.

How to peel off protective glass - sequence of actions

To remove the protective glass from your smartphone, follow the following sequence of steps:

  • Initially, you need to thoroughly wash and dry your hands to avoid the appearance of marks and stains on the surface of the touchscreen;
  • Next, you should determine, based on the glass, the angle that is least susceptible to damage;
  • Attach a silicone suction cup in this place;
  • Using a pick or a piece of plastic, pry up the corner to detach it from the surface of the screen. To do this, you can additionally slightly pull the suction cup towards you;
  • Push a mediator or plastic card into the formed space and move it along the base until the glass completely peels off;
  • Remove the glass from the screen using a suction cup or by picking it up with your hands.

Protective glass from a smartphone - install a new one

At this point the work can be considered completed. The protective glass has been removed and you can proceed to installing a whole and usable module in its place. This process is not particularly difficult, but requires careful compliance with all requirements and nuances.
First of all, you should clean the display with an alcohol-containing solution. After this, you need to remove the film from the new protective glass. This should be done on the side that will be in contact with the screen. mobile phone. The glass should be kept as close to the display itself as possible. Careful alignment of its position is necessary to ensure that all cutouts and holes line up exactly. When full compliance is achieved, the glass lowers onto the screen.
All bubbles that appear can be removed without any problems or difficulties with a dry cloth. You just need to slide it across the glass. Finally, you should remove the film that covers the glass from the outside.
Removing the protective glass is not particularly difficult. You just need to be careful and strictly follow the recommendations presented above.

Phones often fall; glass, being the most fragile part, breaks first. It would seem that there is no problem going to replace the glass on your phone, but in practice everything turns out to be not so simple.

Previously, the glass on the phone was replaced separately, and the glass cost a penny. They are still inexpensive, but with the advent of the era of touchscreen phones, the procedure for replacing glass has become significantly more complicated. What is the current price for replacing glass on a phone, taking into account labor?

If you have a touchscreen phone and its glass is broken and requires replacement, then you need to know the following:

Modern touchscreen phones come in two types: those phones in which the sensor is connected to glass, accordingly changing the glass, you change the sensor, and the cost of touchscreen glasses is already much higher, since in addition to the glass itself, there is also a touch panel with a cable that has a connector to the phone's motherboard. Still, replacing the touch glass is not as expensive as the cost of replacing the glass itself on more expensive models.

The most advanced phone models, company flagships, such as Iphone 4, Iphone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, HTC One, Nokia Lumia 920, Sony Xperia Z and others have a more complex screen design: the phone screen consists of an LCD display, which actually transmits the image, a sensor (touchscreen) responsible for pressing, and glass, which is protective and decorative. In this case, the screen module is one-piece, the components are glued together industrially, and according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the entire screen can be replaced.

Glass replacement procedure.

However, the glass can still be replaced. The procedure for replacing glass on top-model phones is as follows: the display module is heated using a special hair dryer or a special heating pad, the glue that glues the glass to the sensor is softened, then using a knife, a thin spatula, a plastic playing card, or a special molybdenum wire and similar devices, the glass is disconnected from the screen. Then the remaining glue is removed using a special solvent, a scraper, napkins, soft cloth, etc. The new glass is placed either with double-sided tape or with a special UV glue (similar to the factory one).

In the description it looks quite simple, but in practice everything is far from so.

Firstly, it is extremely difficult to achieve uniform heating of the surface of the display module; there is a danger of overheating the display and sensor, after which either the image will disappear or the sensor will not work correctly. This can appear either immediately or after some time.

Secondly, it is possible to remove the glass without problems only if there are one or two large cracks on the glass, but if there is a web of small cracks on the glass, the glass will crumble, and the fragments can easily damage the sensor, as a result you will still have to replace it entire display module. Also, from the impact, there may already be microcracks in the display, which do not manifest themselves in any way before the procedure, but when heated and/or pressure on the glass can lead to failure of the LCD display itself.

Thirdly, cleaning the sensor from glue is also not useful for the phone; the glue is removed with a scraper, cloth, etc., the impact on the sensor is quite serious, which can also lead to its failure.

And finally, in most cases, craftsmen install new glass on double-sided tape pasted around the perimeter of the screen; it is impossible to ensure a tight fit of the new glass; over time, dust will accumulate under it, and the tape itself may come off.

Not everyone knows how to put new glass on glue; it requires not only special glue, preferably German, but also an ultraviolet lamp (the principle of glue hardening is like in a dentist’s office when they put a photopolymer filling), and preferably special equipment for the display and glass to ensure 100 % accurate glass hit in its place.

The work of replacing glass takes up to three hours, it is extremely painstaking and requires a very highly qualified technician. At the same time, if something doesn’t work out, then the master is also responsible for it; it is impossible to explain something to most clients. No guarantees can be given for the successful outcome of the operation.

That is why most professional workshops will tell you that the glass cannot be replaced and will offer to replace the entire display module. Of course, you can find a technician or a service that will take on this, but rest assured that the glasses there are changed in an amateur way, the probability of success is 50/50, the probability of further operability and preservation of the appearance of the phone is even lower.

What our service center offers:

1. Professional replacement of Samsung Galaxy glass at a price of 3,000 rubles (including the cost of glass). The phone is ready in 1-2 days.

Note: Experience shows that in 99% of cases the glass on the phone can be changed, while maintaining the appearance of the phone from 85 to 100%. Statistics on the further performance of the display and sensor have not yet been accumulated (there have been no secondary requests from people who received a replacement).

2. The glasses themselves for Samsung, Nokia, iPhone, HTC - you can buy glass from us and replace it yourself, or contact those who offer to replace glass cheaper than ours.

3. We offer replacement of the display or touchscreen along with the glass: in this case, you are guaranteed to get the most low price screen replacement in the city, using original spare parts and with complete preservation performance and appearance of the phone.

In any case, it's up to you! We hope that the above information will help you make the right decision.

So, in the case when you need glass replacement for Samsung, Nokia, Iphone, Sony, HTC, LG, Fly and other phone models, we are waiting for you in our service!

The main function of protective glass is to protect the phone from shock, cracks and scratches. This element takes care of everything. Over time, it becomes unusable as it loses its attractive appearance. Because of this, the level of protection of the device is reduced. To replace it, you must first learn how to remove the protective glass from your iPhone. This procedure is simple. You just need to follow simple rules.

Why is replacement required?

Before you learn how to remove iPhone 6 and 5, you need to familiarize yourself with the reasons for the replacement:

  • The appearance of the phone is spoiled.
  • The protective functions of the device are lost.
  • If you want to change it to a new glass.

When the phone has a new protective glass, the device looks neat. There are special accessories for the iPhone that are ideal in size. But you can also use universal ones, which need to be glued correctly.

Precautionary rules

You need to take into account one important nuance before removing the protective glass from the iPhone 5 or 6. Since the surface of the screen is perfectly smooth, the glass is securely fixed to it. It is held not only by glue, but also by electrostatic forces. The two surfaces are firmly in contact, and therefore the glass will not be removed so easily. You have to pry it off with your fingernail. If you use another object, such as a knife, for these purposes, there is a possibility of damaging the display.

One won't help here either. If it sticks securely to the damaged surface, there will be no vacuum under it and it will bounce off with force. When the grip is good, the suction cup does not come off, but another difficulty will appear.

The sensor is attached to the body with double-sided tape or glue. Their strength is less compared to the touchscreen and protective glass. If you apply force, you can tear off the entire screen module, which will damage its cables. Therefore, actions must be deliberate. Only then can you use the instructions on how to remove the protective glass from an iPhone 5s or another type of device.

Preparation

The work must be done carefully. Before removing the protective glass from your iPhone, you need to prepare everything for the procedure:

  • Mediator.
  • Silicone suction cup.
  • Lint-free cloth.
  • Wiper.
  • Medical gloves.

Some glass kits include everything needed to complete the procedure. If these parts are there, then the work is easy.

Features of dismantling

How to remove the protective glass from an iPhone so that everything turns out neatly. Before the procedure, you must wash your hands with soap and dry. You can use rubber gloves. This is necessary to protect against fingerprints and streaks. The screen will look neat.

On the damaged glass, you need to find a whole corner where there are no chips or other damage. You need to attach it with a suction cup, pressing it to the device. The corner with the suction cup must be pryed off using a mediator or spatula so that the glass peels off. To do this, you need to pull the suction cup in your direction.

The procedure must be performed carefully so that the screen is not torn off before a gap forms. If there is no suction cup, you can smoothly insert the pick into the gap that appears. When peeling, you need to deepen the mediator. With a large screen you need to use two tools. Finally, you need to lift the suction cup towards you to completely remove the glass.

New glass sticker

When the user knows how to remove the protective glass from the iPhone, you can safely carry out the procedure. Then you will probably need to glue a new element. To ensure a high-quality result, work should be done in a clean room. Before gluing, you need to apply a cleaner and treat the surface with it. This is necessary to completely eliminate dust and degrease the surface.

The glass must be grasped by the edges. Hands should be washed and dried. You can work with medical gloves. Then you need to pull the tab protective film that is on the adhesive surface and remove it. The glass should be kept close to the smartphone to prevent dust particles from sticking during operation.

The glass is placed away from the sensor; it must be centered and leveled. You need to make sure that all the holes match. The product must be lowered onto the display, pressing it slightly. Bubbles must be eliminated immediately by wiping the surface with a dry cloth. At the end, you need to remove the film, which served as protection for the product during transportation.

It is better to immediately eliminate dust particles that have fallen under the glass. It is necessary to carefully peel off the glass, removing any debris. To do this, you can use a napkin or tweezers. Then the glass is put in place. After this, the phone will again be protected from damage. The procedure for removing and gluing glass is the same for all iPhones. You just need to choose the right accessory.

The main function of the protective glass in a smartphone is to absorb the impact. This ensures protection for the touchscreen from damage. Protective glass often becomes unusable after an impact. It becomes covered with cracks, chips and other damage. This reduces the level of protection significantly. The view of the display deteriorates, and the smartphone itself loses its attractiveness. To replace the cover with a new one, let's look at the features of how to remove the protective glass from your phone.

Precautions

Before removing the protective glass from your phone, you need to consider enough important point. Due to the fact that the touch screen has a perfectly smooth surface, the glass adheres to it very firmly. Often it is held in place not by glue, but by electrostatic forces. This way, two flat surfaces are in contact, and you won’t be able to remove the glass by simply prying it with your fingernail. If you use the first tool you come across, for example a knife, there is a risk of damaging the case and display of your smartphone.

It is not enough to use one silicone suction cup. If you stick it tightly to damaged glass, then a vacuum will not form under it, and when force is applied, it will come off. If the grip is good, the suction cup will not come off, but another problem will appear. The sensor is secured in the housing using glue or double-sided adhesive tape. Their tensile strength is lower than that of protective glass and touchscreen. If you overdo it, you can completely tear off the screen module, damaging its cables. It is necessary to act consistently and deliberately.

Removing glass from a phone

Before you remove the cracked protective glass of your phone, you need to prepare and arm yourself with a special tool kit.

We will need:

  • Lint-free cloth.
  • Medical gloves are optional.
  • Silicone suction cup is optional.
  • Windshield cleaner (preferably containing alcohol), vodka, alcohol or alcohol perfume (cologne, perfume) - your choice.
  • A thin plastic stick, spatula or pick.

Often, protective glass is equipped with the necessary devices.

Let's look at how to remove the old phone film:

  • Before removing the protective glass from your phone, you need to wash your hands with soap and dry them. Otherwise, wear rubber gloves. This is required to prevent streaks and fingerprints from appearing on the surface of the screen.
  • To replace the protective glass on your phone, you need to find the most intact corner where there are no chips or other damage (or they are present, but in the smallest quantity). There you need to attach yourself with a suction cup, while simultaneously pressing it against the screen.
  • Use a mediator to pry up the corner where the suction cup is glued. This is necessary so that the edge of the glass peels off. At the same time, you need to slightly pull the suction cup towards you. Here it is important not to overdo it, so as not to tear off the screen until a gap forms between the glass and it. If you don’t have a suction cup at hand, then it will be enough to smoothly insert the pick deeper into the gap formed.
  • As the broken protective glass peels off, you need to deepen the card/spatula/pick. If the screen is large, then you need to work with two tools at once. They should be promoted in different directions.
  • The final touch to replacing the protective film on your phone is to pull the suction cup towards you until the glass comes off completely. You can take the edge with your fingers and do the same.

Gluing new glass

To ensure a high-quality replacement of the protective glass on your phone, all procedures should be done in a clean, dust-free room.

  • When you have already figured out how to remove the protective glass from the phone and completed this action, let's start gluing the new one. Clean the screen with alcohol-containing liquid.
  • From the new protective glass, remove the film from the side that is attached directly to the phone. The glass should be kept as close to the surface of the gadget as possible. Align it carefully and make sure all the holes line up. After this, the glass completely lowers onto the screen.
  • If bubbles appear, they are easily displaced after running a dry cloth over the glass. The last step is to remove the second film. Your phone is now protected.

Removing and sticking the protective glass is very simple. To complete this process you do not need to contact service centers, everything is quickly done with your own hands.
